Be the Change no. 7

“Your beliefs are your actions. What you say is just what you think.”

Be the Change.

What are my choices saying about who I am? I ask that question of myself daily. I have it written on the chalkboard in my classroom. I think about when I wake up every morning and I should probably ask myself before going to bed at night. I think about this because I believe any life that is worth living is worth examining and studying. If I am not interested in my own life, then why would anyone else be interested?

And I think my choices are saying that no matter how much of my life I cannot control. No matter how random and undeserving my life is. No matter the choices made in my past. No matter what I think I want. I still can make better choices every day. I can still make a change in my life. I can still embrace the within.

Sometimes I look back on my life and the places where I think I went wrong. I look at the choices I think I should have made. I look at the decisions that I could have chosen. And then I look at where I am now. And I can look back on those decisions and smile that they led me to where and who I am today. Amor fati. You have to embrace the sorrow and the joy of life. Without one life would not be as wonderful in its tragedy.

So, embrace your choices today? I know I am going to embrace whatever the day sends my way.
